"Miss, Xiao Wuzi brought something out."

Qingdai said happily.

Shu Yuwan became more energetic: "Take the person to the front hall, I want to see him in person."

"Yes, miss."

Shu Yuwan arrived at the front hall. As soon as she entered the door, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old knelt down in front of her and kowtowed: "Meet Miss."

"Get up, thank you for your hard work."

The young man showed a naive smile: "It's not hard work. I'm lucky to be able to work for you."

Without the young lady, the younger sister would have died of illness.

Only when he could repay the kindness to the young lady did he feel at ease.

Thinking about it, Xiaowuzi took out two round paper tubes from his arms: "Miss, this is the thing that Mr. Zhao was studying on Zhuangzi. I have seen it with my own eyes. This thing will explode when it touches the fire, causing the ground to explode." A crater was created. The person in charge called it gunpowder, but it wasn't finished yet. Sometimes it wouldn't work. Some exploded too hard, and some didn't explode. There was a person who was too close when he lit it. , the gunpowder exploded suddenly and killed the person."

"Then Mrs. Zhao circled all the people who made this thing in a village, and sent people to guard it, and no one was allowed to leave. But a few days ago, for some unknown reason, the person in charge moved people and things in a hurry. When we got to the mountain, people from the Anding Hou Mansion came to trouble the steward, so I took this opportunity to sneak out. "

When Shu Yuwan and Qingdai heard this, they knew what was going on.

"I understand, leave the stuff to me."

"You have made a great contribution, and you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver." Shu Yuwan said and stood up hastily.

"Thank you, Miss." Xiaowuzi was very happy. With these one hundred taels, his sister would have a dowry for her future marriage, and he would also have money to marry a wife.

When Shu Yuwan saw her, she smiled and said, "In a few days, I will let you go home to see your sister. You will stay in the house for a few days until this matter is settled."

"Yes, miss."

...

Shu Yuwan played with the powder keg Xiao Wuzi brought back.

Qinghe came in and said, "Miss, the eldest young master is here."

Shu Yuyang then walked in: "What did my sister call me for?"

Shu Yuwan handed the thing to Shu Yuyang: "Brother, please give this thing to the prince, as well as this letter, as soon as possible."

Shu Yuyang looked at Shu Yuwan's serious look and smiled and said: "We are going to get married in a few days. If you have anything to say, you can't wait until after the wedding. You can't wait for so many days, and you still want me to be the microphone."

Shu Yuwan ignored it and continued to warn: "This thing must not touch the fire. It will explode and kill people."

Then, he told Shu Yuyang how he got it and what it was used for.

Shu Yuyang immediately knew the seriousness of the matter.

"The person who brought back this gunpowder can keep it."

Shu Yuwan nodded.

"I'll go right away." Shu Yuyang said, immediately rushing to the East Palace.

When they arrived at the East Palace, the prince was surprised when he heard Shu Yuyang's story: "I also asked why the fifth brother valued a business woman so much. He didn't expect that this business woman really knew something extraordinary."

"Your Highness, the top priority is to send people secretly to that mountain to control the people who are researching and making gunpowder, so as not to let the Fifth Highness get away."

The prince nodded: "Jun Liu, take the people with you."

“Be sure to get all the people and things.”

Jun Liu took the order and took the prince's letter with him. He first went to Shu Mansion to find Shu Yuwan, then took Xiao Wuzi and quickly rushed to the place where Zhao Qingqing made gunpowder.

After Jun Liu left, Shu Yuyang said worriedly: "Your Highness, what about Zhao? She disappeared after killing An Shaoyu, and Marquis An Ding has not found her yet."

"Could it be that the fifth prince hid the person? As long as this person stays with the fifth prince, the fifth prince will still have the method to make gunpowder."

Although Shu Yuwan mentioned it, the prince really didn't pay much attention to this Zhao family.

I don’t know where Zhao is now.

"Aqing."

"The slave is here."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Mansion, Anding Hou Mansion, Peng Shangshu Mansion and Jin Mansion." After the prince ordered A Qing, he said to Shu Yuyang: "Go back and ask Yu Wan, maybe she knows."

Shu Yuyang said in surprise: "Sister?"

The prince raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Look, none of us know that Mrs. Zhao is researching this thing behind her back, and she has already obtained it."

Shu Yuyang thought about it and thought it made sense: "I'll go back right now."

He bowed his hands to the prince and quickly stepped back, thinking as he walked, he was now the mouthpiece for the prince and his sister.

But it won’t be passed on for a few days.

After Shu Yuyang left, the prince asked Ah Qing, "What is fifth brother doing recently?"

Ah Qing replied: "The fifth prince secretly left the palace a few days ago and went to Peng Shangshu's mansion."

After Shu Yuwan reminded the prince to pay attention to the fifth prince, the prince sent someone to keep an eye on the fifth prince. They also released people into Concubine Xian's palace, but Concubine Xian was very cautious, so they could only be placed in the outer courtyard and could not enter the inner hall at all.

After listening to Ah Qing's words, the prince estimated that the Zhao family had most likely hid in Peng Shangshu's mansion.

A few hours passed.

After receiving Shu Yuyang's reply and knowing that Zhao went to Qingshi Lane after killing An Shaoyu, he became even more sure.

In the evening, Jun Liu also came back.

Jun Liu could see excitement that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Jun Liu is the leader of the secret guards. He usually has a cold face, but rarely does he show his emotions like this. The prince instantly became more interested: "How?"

Jun Liu's voice was full of excitement: "Your Highness, this thing is really powerful! I have never seen such a weapon! It is completely different from swords and crossbows, and it is extremely powerful."

"With this, if we fight, our chances of winning will be greatly increased!"

"All the people and things in that manor have been sent to Plum Blossom Villa by me, and none of them have been missed."

"Okay. Find a suitable opportunity, and I will go and see it myself." The prince was also looking forward to it.

It's just that in five days, it will be the day of his wedding with Shu Yuwan. Although the Ministry of Rites will take care of it, he still has to keep an eye on it. He doesn't have his mother to take care of it for him, and his father still has state affairs to worry about, so it's impossible for him to keep an eye on everything, so he has to pay more attention to it himself. He doesn't want Shu Yuwan to be wronged~

"Send a few people to watch over Minister Peng's mansion." The prince ordered Jun Liu.
